Unlocking HR Potential w. Roseanne Donohue

About this episode
An 866% increase in diverse candidates just by letting AI rewrite a job description. That's not a projection. That's something Roseanne Donahue actually did. As a former Chief People Officer in cybersecurity and a veteran of Morgan Stanley, Citigroup, and JP Morgan, Roseanne has operated at the intersection of highly regulated, high-stakes environments and fast-moving tech culture. In this conversation, she walks Chester and Adrian through exactly how she's using AI right now in recruiting, L&D, performance management, and engagement surveys and why the companies winning with AI aren't the ones moving fastest, but the ones moving smartest.
